LONDON: U.S. President Barack Obama marked the 400th anniversary of Shakespeare's death on Saturday by visiting the Globe theatre for a 10-minute performance of a scene from Hamlet, where the Danish prince poses the question: "To be or not to be".
The Globe, with its timbered, white-washed curved-walls, is London's best-loved monument to the Bard, famous for its open-air performances of the works of England's greatest playwright.
